问题     There’s nothing radical about the idea that governments should intervene in the food business. Governments and people seem to agree that【C1】______the safety and stability of the food supply is part of the state’s【C2】______. But obesity (肥胖) is a more complicated【C3】______than food safely. It is not about ensuring that people don’t get poisoned: it is about changing their behavior. Should governments be trying to do anything about it【C4】______?
    There is a bad reason for doing something, and a couple of good ones. The bad reason is that governments should help citizens look【C5】______themselves. People, the argument【C6】______. are misled by their genes, which are【C7】______trying to pack away a few more calories just in case of a famine around the【C8】______. Governments should help guide them【C9】______better eating habits. 【C10】______that argument is no better than it is in any other area where people have a【C11】______of being sensible or silly. People are constantly torn by the battle【C12】______their better and worse selves. It’s【C13】______them, not governments, to decide who should win.
    A better argument for intervention (干预) is that dietary habits are【C14】______early in childhood. 【C15】______people get fat, it is hard for them to get thin. The state, which has some 【C16】______for moulding minors, should try to make sure that its small citizens aren’t【C17】______sugar at primary school. A second【C18】______argument for intervention is that thin people subsidise (补贴) fat people through health care. If everybody is forced to carry the【C19】______of the seriously fat, then everybody has an interest in seeing them【C20】______down.
【C11】

选项 A、chance
B、selection
C、mind
D、choice

答案D

解析 语义衔接题。being sensible or silly(是理智还是愚蠢)应该是人们做出的主观选择,故答案为[D]choice“选择”,强调在两个或多个事物中间进行选择,侧重根据自由的意志或判断所作的选择,主观性较强。[B]selection侧重指“筛选”,强调在众多事物中把想要的挑出来,侧重选择者的识别力或鉴赏力,故排除;[A]chance“机会;可能性”;[C]mind“智力;心思”。
